David Richard Gallery presents a critical reconsideration and analysis of “The Responsive Eye”, fifty years after its presentation at MoMA, New York in February, 1965, through a series of exhibitions curated by David Eichholtz and art historian and critic, Peter Frank.

The first exhibition, “Post-Op: ‘The Responsive Eye’ Fifty Years After”, focuses on the aesthetic pursuits and choices, both during and post the Op Art “craze”, of a select group of American artists who were included in “The Responsive Eye”. Thus, this exhibition looks at the “roster” of that seminal exhibition in 1965 and specifically, compares and contrasts the artist’s work from the mid-1960s with their later career work. Depending upon each artist and their career, the later artwork will span from the 1970s through the 2000s. Most of the artists continued to explore visual perception throughout their careers in a variety of media and approaches. However, some went in different directions pursuing gestural abstraction and material-based explorations, such as Alexander Liberman and Mon Levinson, respectively. Thus, this exhibition focuses more on the artists and their interests in visual perception and less on the cultural phenomenon of Op art per se.

Gerald Peters Gallery and Peters Projects, in association with The New Mexico Spatiotemporal Modeling Center (STMC) and Los Alamos National Laboratories, is pleased to present a contemporary art exhibition, Inventory of Light. The exhibition’s focus is on works created by artists who are known for the integration of science in their art practice.

The exhibition will include lectures and workshops promoting the application of the physical sciences and mathematics to solve complex problems in human biology.

Works of art by renowned regional and national artists Lita Albuquerque, Thomas Ashcraft, Kelsey Brookes, Robert Buelteman, Will Clift, Brian Knep, August Muth, Victoria Vesna, Jonathon Wells, and Ryan Wolfe will be exhibited alongside microscopy images from UNM and LANL scientists.

Victoria Vesna, invited as the featured artist, will exhibit her work The Nanomandala, which premiered at the exhibition NANO at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, and Australia. The artist will be in attendance at the receptions and give a talk.
